Location Paris, France city center.

Sixt, automatic, 4 door.

I'll post pictures later. Star for the poster with the correct guess.

I've seen plenty of the vehicles listed above along with this death trap, but nothing close yet.

Last couple of trips to Ireland were manuals. Even in Europe, manuals are starting to fade away. My uncle in Ireland got his first automatic. They were really excited.

I got Mini Cooper one time in Munich so I'm going to say Mini Cooper. If not that then some Mercedes sedan.

Yeah, I got stuck with an automatic Mercedes A-class for six weeks in Germany back in 2009.

When I went to Australia the first time, I asked for a manual at the rental desk. The agent told me she had already reserved an automatic for me because I was American. They ended up giving me a manual Ford Focus sedan in both Alice Springs and Sydney, which was fun to try from the right seat.

So these companies will definitely put you in an automatic, just because they assume Americans don't know how to or want to drive a manual.

Underpowered and manual can still be a lot of fun, as can be overpowered and automatic, but a small underpowered car with an automatic is just painfully boring to drive.

I had an MG ZS, which was once British, but now Chinese. 5 speed. Teemed every bit I could out of that little engine and gearbox on the autobahn

True. I hooned a Fiat Fire around Morocco for a couple weeks many years ago. Slow mo passing hiluxes full of goats on the virages dangereux in second gear while laying on the horn to warm oncoming traffic will get your heart rate up!

This is the closest, so I award one star.

BMW X1 M35i xDrive.

I'm the first to rent it. Still had the factory plastic seat cover on the driver's seat when they brought it out to me.

Made it from my hotel in the heart of Cologne to my hotel near the Frankfurt airport, 183 KM (113.5) miles in 90 minutes. Top speed 205 KPH. Could have gone faster, but the autobahn was pretty rough and I wasn't comfortable going any faster. I left Cologne during rush hour.
